Continuing Controversy:
This is not the first time the Dalai Lama has been embroiled in controversy. Last year in 2019, a comment about a woman's appearance by saying that she should be "attractive" drew criticism from around the world. After his comments were widely criticized as "sexist," the Dalai Lama apologized for his comments and has now issued a second apology.
Dalai Lama in India:
It has been almost 60 years since the Dalai Lama left his Buddhist monastery in the Dhauladhar range and settled in Dharamsala, India, after allegedly supporting an anti-government uprising in China.
